One key benefit of VSEA membership is access to a supplemental dental plan that has been helping VSEA families bring down the costs of expensive dental procedures for nearly a decade now. The program is so popular that VSEA is now offering a second chance in 2018 (usually just once a year, in the spring) for members to enroll in the program, which is a unique benefit for state employees represented by VSEA.
VSEA sent an all-member email this week about the new enrollment period. If you don’t recall receiving the email, you can learn more about the plan here.
The supplemental program is offered as an enhancement to state employees’ State-administered dental insurance benefit.
